Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] 3743-170-2A/0A

Since the flagship for Watches & Wonders Geneva 2025, Ulysse Nardin has just unveiled the actual world’s lightest mechanical diver’s watch. Made from high-tech remade materials, the new Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] is driven by a extremely skeletonized automatic movement, along with bridges machined from ti and, like the rest of the selection, water-resistant to 200 yards; however , the entire watch (including the strap) weighs simply 52 grams, less than half the of the brand’s standard Diver X Skeleton model.

Despite sharing exactly the same overall silhouette as the brand’s standard diver’s models, the new Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] measures 44mm in diameter and 14. 7mm thick, making it 1 millimeter thinner than the Diver X Skeleton friend. As you’d expect, the very best of the case features a domed sky-blue crystal surrounded by a unidirectional rotating chronograph bezel, as the back of the watch features a screw-down exhibition caseback with a signature bank winding crown at three that screws into the center case to ensure the 200 feets of water resistance this product offers. With this in mind, and in order to considerably reduce the weight of the brand new Diver [Air], Ulysse Nardin had to resort to components different from those typically utilized in its dive watch production. high quality replica watches

The Diver [Air]’s situation is made from titanium and graphite, but rather than working with conventional suppliers, Ulysse Nardin caused forward-thinking innovators in the field of great materials to source these types of materials. Titanium is used for your internal container that homes the movement, as well as the watch’s bezel, crown, and caseback. The titanium used in the particular Diver [Air] is 90% made from reproced materials and is manufactured by TiFast, a leading titanium producer, as well as ThyssenKrupp, a specialist in supplies and engineering solutions dedicated to automotive technology and sea systems. TiFast recycles ti from the Swiss biomedical business, which is then processed through ThyssenKrupp using its various technology and heat treatment methods to increase enhance the alloy's processing and also deformation properties.

The rest of the case is made from Nylo®-Foil, a carbon composite materials that is lighter than standard carbon fiber. Nylo®-Foil is composed of 60 per cent Nylo® (a polymer produced from recycled fishing nets simply by French recycling startup Ruse & Fab) and little less than a half carbon fiber, which comes from typically the IMOCA sailboat manufactured by CDK Technologies. The carbon fiber is actually recycled and returned in order to its original fiber condition by Extracthive, a company devoted to the circular economy, after which Lavoisier Composites processes often the Nylo® and carbon fiber to produce the Nylo®-Foil material. At the same time, the bezel insert from the Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] is made of CarbonFoil, which is made from 100% reused carbon fiber from IMOCA sailboats that are chopped and compacted into a sturdy structure having a unique marble-like forged co2 pattern.

Rather than a weighty rubber strap like most brands’ dive watches, the new Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] comes with two ultra-light elastic fabric straps. Both straps are bright fruit or white, but besides the color difference, the two band are identical, both using a wraparound design and a Velcro-style connection system. Since the connectors are connected to the case through Velcro, the two included ties can be easily replaced with no use of any tools, and also the Velcro-style closure also offers users with a nearly unlimited range of adjustability. Additionally , because the strap is essentially just a bit of stretchy fabric with a black plastic pull tab, just adds a few grams associated with weight, and the Diver [Air] weighs 46 grams for the watch mind, and only 52 grams together with one of the included straps.

Creating a lightweight circumstance and strap certainly assisted keep the watch’s weight straight down, but to create a watch that is close to breaking the document, the movement inside additionally needed to be redesigned. The Quality and reliability UN-374 automatic movement, noticeable through two sapphire deposits on either side in the Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] case, is extremely skeletonized, with bridges along with mainplates made from 90 % recycled titanium to further decrease weight. The skeletonized ti bridges have been redesigned to create a triangle for optimum strength, the skeletonized mainspring barrel has been changed to the flying configuration, and by removing the upper barrel bridge, Ulysse Nardin was able to further slow up the weight of the movement. replica Jacob and Co. watches

The Cal. UN-374 motion consists of 199 individual components, is set with 21 gems, beats at 21, six hundred vph (3 Hz), and it has a power reserve of ninety hours. Similar to other in one facility movements of Ulysse Nardin, the Cal. UN-374 comes with an oversized balance wheel, in whose hairspring and anchor-shaped get away wheel are made of silicon. The actual 90% recycled titanium utilized for the plates and connections is produced by TiFast in addition to Thyssenkrupp, and the silicon found in the regulating organ originates from recycled silicon wafers supplied by Sigatec. At the same time, the one of the Cal. UN-374 continues to be hollowed out to the essential components, and the use of large regions of hollowing out and lightweight elements makes the movement weigh just 7 grams, but it may withstand shocks of more than 5, 000g. swiss replica watches

Dive watches and skeleton timepieces usually exist at opposing ends of the horological range, and it is undeniable that the very hollowed-out display is completely reverse to the legibility that jump watches usually have. That being said, ultra-lightweight skeletonized sports watches have grown to be a very popular horological style, these types of haute horlogerie creations aren't intended to be purely utilitarian items, but rather to be technical displays that demonstrate the producing prowess of their respective brand names. The Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] is designed not to be the world’s most effective dive watch, but to become the world’s lightest dive watch, and its appearance is designed to reveal this extreme, with around 80% of the space inside the case being completely busy by air.

The Ulysse Nardin Diver [Air] forces the boundaries of one metric without compromising the others, as well as although the new Diver [Air] weighs less than 50 % of the brand’s standard Diver X Skeleton model, this still offers a proper automated movement with the same 200-meter depth rating, and also gives users with 25% lengthier power reserve. replica luxury watches
